The Brent Executive on Monday will decide on the future of the Borough's Festivals strategy. Athough this is one of our most controversal decisions by some oversight it doesn't come under my portfolio but under that of my colleague Cllr Lesley Jones.
The responses to the consultation are striking in their range, with a number of people suggesting that we should not be supporting festivals at all, and others arguing against particular religions and/or areas of the Borough getting a disproportionate share of any support that is given. Still others want spending to be extended, which doesn't seem very realistic. It certainly seems likely that whatever the Council decides will disatisfy someone.
